PICKERING — The Picker-
ing Township Historical Society
has entered the fray revolving
around the Pickering Museum
in Brougham.
The Society is the original
founder of the Museum, and
designed the museum concept in
the late 1950's in response to the
loss of historical buildings,
relics and artifacts in the
Pickering area due to
development.
The Brougham museum
was opened July 7, 1961, and the
historical society operated the
museum until 1970, when it was
taken over by the town of
Pickering. The town then
established a museum board
which included all members of
council.
Since 1970 the Historical
Society has had nothing to do
with the museum and would
like, at this time, to become
reinvolved in its operations. The
town, however, would still be the
museum operator.
According to the Society,
the town has in its possession
documents belonging to the
society and they charge that the
town has disposed of a clock
presented to the society by the
province, and replaced it with
one that is "inaccurate".
The Historical Society had
also requested a copy of the
study done concerning the
movement of the museum to a
new site, possibly in Greenwood,
but council has, up to this time,
not provided the society with a
copy of that report.
Funds rejected on grounds
'Ottawa reneged on museum
PICKERING — Council
has decided to call the federal
government's bluff and has
i voted to return more than
$500,000 paid last year by
I Ottawa for relocation of the
Pickering Museum.
The council last night ap-
proved a resolution to advise
the federal government it is
prepared to return all funds
received for the relocation,
exclusive of costs incurred by
the town. Ottawa agreed
early last year to pay $528,-
000 for relocating the mu-
seum to Greenwood, from
Brougham.
However, council was told
last night that the govern-
ment has reneged on a verbal
agreement to allow the town
to rent the present museum
site until this fall for $1 a
year. Ottawa wants the town
to pay $250 a month for the
site while the museum is
there and the rent to be retro-
active to 1975, Mayor Jack
Anderson reported.
The town has also com-
plained that about $100,000,+
offered by the federal Public
Works Ministry for expropri-
ation of the Brougham Mu-
seum site, still has not been
paid.
If the relocation funds are
returned by the town, Ottawa
will be responsible for mov- ,
ing the museum and designat-
ing it a national historic site
under the administration of
the federal government.
Councillor Laurie Cahill!
termed the town's resolution
a "squeeze -play" intended to
force federal authorities to
act on the matter. Councillor
Norah Geraghty opposed thei
resolution, saying she does
not want the museum to be
turned over to the federal
government.
SALEbi C �3RCH and CEI IETERY
A log school on the northeast corner at
Hyfield (Sale-.) was tine meeting place of the'
early Wesleyan Methodists of the i•arkiza-a Cir-
cuit, then in 1347 of the Oshawa Circuit.
In the late 18401s John Adamson, an Ang-
lican, who lived on the southwest corner at
Lyfield, gave land for a cemetery. About 1348
the settlers decided to build Salem Church
upon its present location, surrounded by the
cemetery. At first the church was of frame
construction. In 1880 it was bricked over
with bricks made in Sariuel Adamson' s brickyard
northwest of the church. In I•iay 1849 the
Sale-m Church was finished and dedicated.
Salem Church came into the Whitby Cir-
cuit in 1855. In 1863 the Pickering Circuit _
was fouled, consisting of ten congregations. Y^
It was in this year that the congregation was
organized at Greenwood.
Services were held in the Sale- Church
regularly for '+1 years. As it had no organ
or any musical instrument, AleCander Brown
lead the singing with his fine tenor voice.
f The Salem Church was closed in 1890 as
there were, the three :iethodist Churches of
Greenwood, Kindals, and Mount Zion nearby.
Since 1890 the Church has been used for
occasional funerals and for the Annual rlemor-
ial Day Service, held on the last Sunday in
June.
Who can tell how many were comforted,
how many received a new strength greater than
their own, in this one of God's Holy Places -
Salem Church at Greenwood.

PICKERING — Norm

some credence to the rumor that
the Ontario government may
reverse its decision to service
the Toronto international air-

The provincial government
decided not to provide services
to the Pickering airport project
before the last provincial
election.
A much delayed study of
transportation needs in the
Toronto area, originally
scheduled for completion last
December, and mentioned for
completion at the end of last
month is not yet finished and no
date has been scheduled for
public release of the ac-
cumulated information.
The study will includ

hard look at the project" if the
study indicates the need for a

recommends against the air-
port, expropriated landowners

Durham OFA
Director resigns ,,,,,,
from his positioh
By Cliff Robb
The resignation of
Bruce Taylor, a Durham
Region director to the
Ontario Federation of
Agriculture for twenty
years, was regretfully
accepted at a recent
meeting of the
organization held at
Hampton, Ontario.
Bruce had run suc-
cessfully in the municipal
elections in early
December and would
represent his area on
Regional Council,
therefore, he felt that he
wouldn't have time to
devote if he remained as
the Durham East director
of the OFA. Bruce had
been a tower of strength
to the organization at
both the local and
provincial level and his
influence will be sorely
missed. We certainly
wish him well in his new
endeavour.
Three separate
meetings are to be held in
1977 to inform and better
acquaint members with
the structure and work of
the local, provincial and
national organization of
the Federation of
Agriculture. It is felt that
many members just don't
understand their
organization and how it
works, therefore it was
decided that the Durham
Greenwood news -
executive would set up
meetings at different
locales in the region to
encourage farmers and
their wives to attend.
Joan Fielden was the
guest speaker for the
evening. Her talk was
certainly well received by
the audience. Miss
Fielden, who is one of the
country's leading food
experts, talked about
merchandising, the
chemical content and
problems associated with
the sale of food products.
The organization is
planning to hold a
membership drive this
month in the Darlington,
Newcastle and Cart-
wright districts with the
help of local people who
have volunteered their
services and time to help
the fieldman, Dan Caley.
It is hoped that through
these efforts the mem-
bership of the local
federation can be raised
appreciably.
T h e r e g i o n
unanimously decided to
support the Canadian
Broiler Council's
proposal for national
marketing of chicken in
Canada and requested, by
letter, the support of the
region's MPs in this
matter.
The meeting ad-
journed at midnight.

Good insulatioT,fior
this winter's crops
If snow cover means
anything, our wheat and
alfalfa crops should
survive this winter in
perfect condition.
Snow, of course, is
great insulation. Tests at
Guelph have shown a
difference in temperature
of up to 20 degrees in
alfalfa crowns covered
with snow, compared to
those in bare ground.
Alfalfa won't stand a
real freezing. It kills at
around 15 degrees, so
snow has saved it many
times this winter. Snow
prevents deadly ice
layering at the surface
too.
We need some breaks
in the crop business.
Grain prices have been
sliding steadily in the last
two years. Wheat is a
good example. It was
$4.35 in 1974, $3.63 in 1975,
and with a drop in the
world price of $1 since
July, our 1976 price will
likely be down to $3.25.
Corn is comparable
at around $2.30, and our
yields here in York were
down for the '76 crop. The
Ontario crop was the best
on record, however, with
a 87.5 bushel average.
With good supplies of
grain on the world
market, prices will just
hold their own, so we need
good yields to cover costs.
Our estimated break even
price this year for wheat
is $2.78 at a 50 bushel
yield, $2.32 for corn at 90
bushels, and $2.06 for
barley at 55 bushels.
Holstein breeders get
together next week at
Vandorf, for their annual
meeting. The date is
Tuesday, Jan. 25, and
they start at 10:30 a.m.
The course in ar-
tificial breeding of swine
is at our office on Wed-
nesday, Jan. 26. Many
sow herd owners, large
and small, in Western
Ontario, are doing their
own breeding now, and it
is quite practical.
Our beef producers'
annual meeting will be on
Tuesday, Feb. 1. The
emphasis this year will be
on the cow -calf en-
terprise, with Morley
Shepherdson of New
Liskeard the main
speaker. Mr. Shepherd -
son operates a large cow
herd and is chairman of
the cow -calf section of the
Ontario Cattlemen's
Association.
Graeme Hedley will
provide the latest in-
formation on the beef
industry as well, so it will
be a good day for all beef
men at the East Gwillim-
bury hall.

Damage to
nature trails
The Amalgamated
Game Commission held
its annual meeting at the
Pickering Municipal
Building on Thursday,
March 31, 1977. The
Commission includes
appointed Game Com-
missions of the councils of
Newcastle, Oshawa,
Whitby, Pickering,
Markham and Whit -
church. The Ministry of
Natural Resources were
represented by David
Hogg from the Maple
Branch and A. O'Donnell
from Lindsay.
The election of of-
ficers resulted in Sid
Pugh of Pickering being
re-elected Chairman,
Harry Inkpen of Whitby,
Vice -Chairman and Fred
Ashton also of the Whitby
Commission, Secretary -
Treasurer. A publicity
committee was also
appointed consisting of
Harry Inkpen, Joe
Worona and Richard
Agar.
Some of the items
brought before the
meeting included Joe
Worona informing the
Commission that duck
banding in the Oshawa
Second Marsh is not
permitted. The re-
introduction of the duck
banding programme in
this marsh received
unanimous approval. It
was thought to be well
worth while in the in-
terest of flight patterns,
preservation and
management, since this
was believed the best
marsh in the area and
that it was used by large
numbers of ducks during
migration periods. The
Commission wish to point
out that while they are in
favour of duck banding
they cannot become in-
volved in other uses of the
marsh. Proper authority
should be obtained for
duck banding.
The Commission was
informed of some cases of
damage and vandalism
particularly on the nature
trails. While it is hoped
hunters are not
responsible, the members
thought a code of ethics
might be handed to the
applicant for a hunting
license. Former Judge
Harry Jermyn strongly
supported this step and
said all sportsmen should
act responsibly and keep
in mind the benefits from
the wise use of natures
renewable resources. It
was generally felt that
better educatior in
conservation of wildlife
by both children and
adults would be of great
benefit. Individual Game
Commissions were
requested to support this
program.

Store design helps, cash. reI _. J - r-
C:-
Design
By DAVID PIPER
Unlike many other kinds of design, the success or
otherwise of a store design can be measured almost
immediately by the ring on the cash register - or the
silence of it.
D.I.; an international firm, has its head offices in
Toronto, with offices in Montreal, Johannesburg and
Durban. The partners are Colin Stephens, Brian Cran-
field, David Newman, Leigh Speakman, Ron MacLa-
chlan and Alan Fairbrass, with Robert Chenier and
Ron Harris as associates.
In the new Toronto Eaton Centre, D.I. has designed
more than 13 stores, which include Birks, Gordon Je-
wellers, Walters Jewellers, DeWitt Jewels, McGowans
of Scotland and the Quinto Boutique.
What is store design? Alan Fairbrass, executive
vice-president, replies that it inevitably varies accord-
ing to the type of merchandise to be displayed. "For
example, the fashion industry requires a very flexible
desigr to accommodate the various seasonal changes.
The relationship between the design and merchandise
is of direct importance," he says.
"Contrasting with this concept would be the design
of a jewelry store. Here, the functional layout and
strong esthetic identification form the criteria. With a
middle market jewelry chain one uses very standard
material content — with imagination — while stores
sucji as Mappins and Gordons will readily use such
materials as Italian marble, Persian rugs and fine
woods. The quality of the building materials used fre-
quently reflects the quality of the merchandise to be
sold in the store and mirrors the retailer's position in
the market place."
Individual designers start their designs in different
ways. Ron Harris starts with the "mood" he feels the
store should have, then thinks about the space. Brian
Cranfield starts with the space, the traffic flow, the
proportions, and only then does he think of the mood
of the store.
Regardless of where one starts, it was agreed that in
many ways design is an intuitive thing, with a
multitude of starting points. Very often, several of the
STORE DESIGNERS Brian Cranfield, left, and Ron
Harris are members of D.I., an international compa-
partners will work jointly on a design, questioning
each others thoughts and decisions. This, they feel, en-
sures that the final concept will be a superior one, and
makes for a wide variety of design solutions in the
stores they do. Of course, once the concept is arrived
at, one person carries it out. Understandably, a good
design goes hand in hand with an appreciative mer-
chandiser.
There are some situations where D.I. will develop a
complete corporate image from advertising, graphics
and packaging through to complete interior environ-

ment and construction management. An example
would be Hacketts, a new chain selling athletic foot-
wear, sports equipment and fashion sports wear.
On this occasion D.I. created a locker -room atmos-
phere, with concrete block, pine, exposed ducts, warm
incandescent industrial lighting and colors associated
with sports activities.
D.I. designs are usually a passport into any mall. In
the U.S. one of their chain store clients has become an
anchor store, always being offered prime space
because of its aggressive merchandising and design
quality.
An historical look at Church Hill
Dear Sir:
As the year 1977 is
centennial year for the
village of of Stouffville,
perhaps readers of The
Tribune would be in-
terested in some events
that took place in this
community one hundred
or more years ago.
My mother, Essie L.
Hill (1873-1956), was born
at her parent's home
farm which was situated
on the north-east corner
of the ninth concession of
Whitchurch Township
and the Ballantrae
sideroad, about half a
mile north of
Musselman's Lake.
At the age of seventy-
six years, my mother
wrote a story of her life,
which contains many
interesting events, which
happened during her
adolescent years at
Church Hill and also
many stories as told by
her father, William Hill,
such as the following:
How Church Hill got its
iiame.
I quote excerpts
verbatim.
When I was fifteen
years old (continued

preachers used to come
riding on horseback about
every three months. They
always made our home
their headquarters and
would travel from there
all around, visiting the
settlers and establishing
classes where they could
for the study of the Bible
and the worship of God.
They held prayer
meetings in the homes
also.
When they had
established two or three
classes, leaders were
appointed to take charge
of them. I was one of the
chosen before I had at-
tained my 18th birthday.

Three years ago several Senior Citizens from
Greenwood and Whitevale decided to put their time
to something useful and pleasant. They agreed that
a class in crafts would be good, so the Whitevale
Good Neighbours Club sponsored the project with
the aid of grants from the New Horizons program.
They soon had a class of eight people learning hand
weaving on table looms.
arts Going Strong
Soon, some of the younger people became
interested and a weaver's guild was formed called
the Shuttle Bugs. Carol White of Whitevale was
elected president and now they have about 18 very
good weavers meeting at each others homes to learn
the new and various techniques of the craft.
Carrie sand Ellen Beth Hobbs of
Rosebank have helped a great deal with their
experience and in teaching.
Greenwood Community Centre with chairman
Gerry Fisher has turned over two large rooms for
craft classes. The idea has caught on and today
there are 11 different crafts with 81 persons enrolled
in such classes as harness hand weaving, Flemish
tapestry, pottery, oil painting, picture framing and
crochet.
In the oil painting classes under the instruction
of Kay Parker, there are at times three generations
working side by side. Any person residing north of
Con. 3 is welcome to attend the daytime classes.
A pilot project in pottery is being conducted at a
former Cherrywood schoolhouse. The town has
provided excellent facilities and equipment. The
next course for beginners starts March 2nd at
9:30 a.m.
The well known artist Engelin Van-Nus Mooy is
teaching Flemish tapestry each Monday afternoon
at Greenwood.
Only one evening class is being offered and that
is in picture framing under Mr. H. Nelson of Ajax.
The Green and White Crafts, as it is called, is
grateful to all who have helped make it such a
success. Some of those who have been active are
Sid Pugh, Harry White, Milton Pegg, Garnet
Dickson, Don MacLean, Lloyd Johnston and Gordon
Willson.

Municipal by-election
j.l_1,v_
PICKERING — A
former candidate for the
local Ward 3 position on
town council is trying a
second attempt at win-
ning that seat.
Norah Geraghty, a
32-year-old Goodwood
resident, will challenge
former councillor Ken
Spratley and newcomer
Anna Crosthwaite for the
vacant Ward 3 seat on
council in next month's
municipal by-election.
The vacancy came
because local councillor
Gerry Fisher was ap-
pointed to the regional
seat to replace Jack
Anderson, who was ap-
pointed mayor to replace
George Ashe.
Mr. Ashe resigned
from the mayor's chair

PICKERING — The
new mayor of Pickering
came into the job through
a strange set of cir-

through his desire for the
job.
Jack Anderson is the
man, and he commented
that he had no intention of
seeking the mayor's
office as long as former
mayor George Ashe held
the position.
However, it was on
June 9 when all that
changed as Mr. Ashe was
elected as Durham West
MPP, thus setting the
stage for Mr. Anderson's
elevation to the post of
mayor.
Mr. Anderson has
had three -and -a -half
years experience on
regional council, which
made him the logic
choice for mayor in M
Ashes' view.
fight with Mrs. Geraghty
and Mr. Spratley, who
finished third.
Mr. Sprately believes
his experience on council
makes him the most
qualified of the can-
didates. He sat on council
for three years from 1974
to 1976.
Mrs. Geraghty has
resided in the Pickering
area for 11 years. She is a
member of the People or
Planes anti -airport group
and a member of the
Greenwood Ratepayers
Association.
Mrs. Crosthwaite, is
making her first attempt
at politics although she
has been involved in,
community groups
during the 18 months shei
has lived in Pickering.
The election will be
held Monday, August 22,
and the deadline for filing
nomination papers is
August 2.
Mr. Anderson say
his main aim as mayor
will be making sure thak
there is a balance be-
tween industrial and
residential growth. He
commented that if there
isn't a balance then there
would be a greater
burden on the residential
assessment.
The most important
project facing the town in
the immediate future,
according to both Mr.
Anderson and Mr. Ashe,
is the town centre project.
Mr. Anderson stated that
the centre will become a
focal point for the town,
something it never had
before.

The Pickering airport

create a new lot on the
grounds that the lands
might be subject to high
levels of aircraft noise

Museum site
Pickering won't pay
mire than
1 a year
PICKERING -- The town
is willing to sign an agree-
ment with Ottawa to relocate
the Pickering Museum pro-
vided federal authorities
charge the municipality only
$1 a year rent until the move
takes place.
Council voted last night to
reinforce its position on the
issue after Mayor Jack
Anderson reported the feder-
al government had agreed
verbally to the $1 annual rent
in negotiatiations concluded
last year.
Anderson said Ottawa
agreed last fall to pay the
• town $528,000 for relocation
of the museum from Broug- I
ham to a new site at Green-
wood.
He said $26,500 of that
amount was to pay for the
land at Brougham, expropri-
ated for the Pickering Air-
port site. He added the gov-
ernment agreed that the
town would pay only $1 a
year until October this year
and an extension of the rental
arrangment could he made if
the Brougham site was still
required. _
PAGE 12
The federal public works
ministry has demanded the
town pay $750 a month for
the property, retroactive to
June, 1975. Anderson said the
town had received $365,000
from Ottawa only last
November and before then
had obtained only $62,000
under the agreement.
He disputed a suggestion
by Ontario riding Liberal MI
Norm Cafik that the tows
was not living up to its end o
the agreement.,
"It's not a question of
money, it's a question of
integrity," Anderson said.
Council tabled a motion to
have Ottawa take over the
museum to be run under the
National Heritage Act.

Election Date
by Don Martin
Unable to function as a six -man unit, dickering
Council decided an election was the only alternative
in choosing a seventh member of Council.. Council
ground to a halt Monday night when it came time to
choose between appointing or electing a councillor
for the local Ward 3 seat left vacant when Gerry
Fisher replaced newly -appointed Mayor Jack
Anderson in the Ward 3 regional seat. The vote
remained the same as the last meeting 3-1 over the
question.
Coun. Alex Robertson switched his pgsition to
favour an election. "The town comes first,#irrespec-
tive of personal preferences. A smoothly running
municipality is dependent on a full coupcil," he
said. "In this instance we are stymied. Therefore,
I move that we have an election."
Mayor Jack Anderson who would have been
responsible for breaking the tie said he would have
had to call an election anyway if Robertsou had not
switched his vote. "It is obvious to me th:$ Council
cannot operate as a 6-man Council," he ,paid. "I
would have called an election if the tie had. not been
broken."
Bob Mason, representative of the Greenwood
Ratepayers Assoc. presented Council wi* a brief
charging them with "personal bias" and urging
them to do the "morally right thing to ,do" and
appoint Norah Geraghty, who finished second in
the last Ward 3 election, the councillor fo; Ward 3.
Ironically enough Mason was a former councillor in
the area who got his seat through appointment under
much the same circumstances as Council .was con-
fronted with on Monday.
When asked if she planned to run, Ms. AGeraghty
gave a flat "no comment". Ken SprAtley had
already indicated he intends to seek election in the
ward.
The cost of the single ward election is estimated
by Noel Marshall, Administrator -Clerk for Pickering
to be between $8,000 and $10,000, almost half of
what it would cost to hold an election for the entire
township. Although no official date bas been
announced, the most likely date is on .Monday,
August 15, according to Noel Marshall.. Because
it is right in the heart of vacation season, .the voter
turnout will probably be one of the lowest iryhistory.

Geraghty calls for-1-7
industrial committee
GREENWOOD —
Pickering Ward 3 by-
election candidate Norah
Geraghty has called for
formation of an industrial
advisory committee that
will "with aggressive
selling bring industry" to
Pickering.
Mrs. Geraghty is
running in the August 22
election against former
Ward 3 councillor Ken
Spratley, who along with
Mrs. Geraghty was
defeated in the last
municipal election by
Gerry Fisher. A third
candidate is 36 year old
housewife Anna Crosth-
waite.
The by-election was
called as Mr. Fisher was
promoted to Durham
Region Council, leaving a
Ward 3 vacancy. Mr.
Fisher replaced Jack
Anderson who became
mayor in the wake of
George Ashe who was
elected to the provincial
legislature.

Itegional
Council
Report,
by Alex Robertson
To start off this report, let me congratulate
our new councillor, Norah Geraghty, who won so
handily the by-election held for the vacant seat in
Ward Three. 1 would also like to, correct al misde-
meanor, which appeared in this newspaper last
week. The editorial, written in good faith, and
under the policy of being allowed to state a view
without interference from the owners or publisher,
stated that the Council was wrong in calling the by-
election. It also named Councillor Fisher as being
the bad boy who fought against Mrs. Geraghty's _
appointment. Everyone is entitled to their opinion;
but the truth is, three members of the council
would not accept the appointment route, and three
were willing. Councillor Fisher was only one of the
three, the others were Councillors Matheson and
Cahill. Every councillor makes his or her own
choice. The other matter was, there was a stale-
mate. We on Council had only one choice left, an
election. I made that motion. There was little point
in dilly-dallying, and members of council have to
make decisions, popular or otherwise. That is
what we are elected to do.
Today, I should imagine that Mrs. Geraghty
is glad we went the route we did. She has a mandate
of the people of the ward, to bring forward all
the things she promised in her election literature.

The councils', *regionaland local, slowdowns
for the month of August have come to an end, and
we start back into action again. On looking at the
Works agenda for this Tuesday, it is going to be a
busy year. Already, the latest decision on allowing
people with swimming pools a slight reduction on
filling, has brought reaction.
The people in Frenchman's Bay, who have no
service pipes, have to pay the service charge.
The reaction to allowing the owners of pools a rebate
while they pay, is rather violent. I will be taking
the necessary steps to attempt to rectify this problem

Wet weather affecting crops
By A.A. WALL
This fall is turning
out to be one of the most
difficult we have had for a
long time. Wet weather
has affected the last crop
of hay, planting wheat,
silo filling and the grain
corn crop.
Some wheat went in
last week, but from now
on we are probably past
the point where it would
have a chance of getting
well enough started
before winter.
A few forage har-
vesters were going last
week, some with extra
tractors and half loading
the wagons. At this point
there is some concern
that the crop is too dry to
make good silage.
Silage going into big
silos, where it packs is
still alright. Moisture
levels down to 55 per cent
are satisfactory. Where
corn is going into small
silos, bunkers, or stacks
extra packing and careful
covering will help to keep
it good.
Water can be added
to increase the moisture
level, but it isn't easy. It
takes four gallons of
water per ton to raise it
by one per cent. That
would be 200 gallons to
bring a five ton load up by
10 per cent. Fine chop-
ping, and extra packing is
a more practical idea.
Details of the
stabilization program for
last year's grain corn are
final now. There will be a
payment of six cents a
bushel, to bring the price
up to $2.18. All farmers
who sold corn between
September first last year
and Aug. 31 this year, and
have their bills, can
receive this payment.
Claim forms will be
avilable at our office.
average prices over the
year were above the
support levels there will
be no payment on these
crops.
With corn prices now
quite low, there is almost
certain to be a corn
payment on this year's
crop. The program will be
more complex this year,
so all records and bills
should be kept carefully.
The support prices
for oats and barley were It's a very busy time,
$1.30 and $1.85. Since the but farm owners and
particularly farm
organizations should
study and respond to the
Green Paper on Food
-_Land Guidelines,
proposed by our Ministry.
These deal with policies
on severances, official
plans, zoning, the code of
practice, and use of farm

The deadline for public
comment is December 31.
Details are available at

Claremont station torn down
CLAREMONT — The
people of Claremont's
efforts to save their train
station have failed before
they really had a chance
to do anything about it.
The efforts, led by
Pickering Ward 3
Councillor Norah
Geraghty came to an
abrupt end last month at
a public meeting to
discuss the station. At the
meeting it was learned
that the demolition of the
93-year-old station had
begun that morning.
Mrs. Geraghty
learned of the demolition
when she started to ask a
question on whether or
not accommodation for
the station could be made
in the hamlet's secondary
plan, which was being
discussed at the meeting.
She commented later
that the town has asked
CP rail to hold off until it
could be decided what to
do.
"We felt the station
had historical importance
and we wanted to save
it."
She also said she had
received great response
from people in Claremont
who wanted to help
relocate the building
which had been offered to
the town by CP provided
it could be moved to
another site.
Several people had
offered property for that
purpose and one even
suggested it be turned
into a tea room.
She felt that because
of the number of calls in
favour of the station CP
"had to do it now or
public opinion would
never have let them."
Neu/ inquire into PickerinE,
lard expirc�priatians sought
A new inquiry into the
continuing dispute over
land acquisitions in
Pickering township has
been recommended by a
legislature committee.
The present inquiry
has come under criticism_,
by landowners, objecting
to its "adversarial
nature." The inquiry in
the form of a royal
commission, is headed by
Justice J.F. Donnelly,
and has been trying to
deal with 28 cases in-
volving former land-
owners.
The Select Com-
mittee on the Om-
budsman, in a report
tabled in the Legislature
last week, has recom-
mended that the Donnelly
i 'X
commission be disbanded
immediately.
It was further
recommended that a new
commission of inquiry or
other suitable forum be
established under the
Public Inquiries Act.
The 28 landowners
withdrew their cases last
spring although the
Donnelly commission
continues to sit, hearing a
counter -case brought by
government land
acquisition agents.
MPP Michael
Davison (NDP-Hamilton-
Centre ) chairman of the
select committee, felt
that "to waste any more
time is unconscionable."
The landowners
dispute goes back several
years and was the first
major investigation
launched by Ombudsman
Arthur Maloney.
Mr. Maloney felt the
landowners should be
given more money for the
land they sold for the
North Pickering townsite
development.
"The people weren't
given the opportunity to
state what they wanted.
The commuters them-
selves were opposed to
the demolition. CP just
decided the matter for us,
I guess." she said.
She also pointed out it
is not the first time a
station demolition has
been carried out before a
move could be made to
save it, and that other
stations are also slated
for demolition.
"In Pontypool they
had a station which was
really unique in its
architecture and the
railroad company agreed
to wait one month before
removing it. A month
later they tore it down."

Snowmobiles may
have become popular
recreational vehicles, but
for Ontario farmers they
have become a nuisance,
says R.W. Irwin of the
School of Engineering.
Ontario Agricultural
College, Guelph.
Because their tracks
reduce the yield and
quality of crops,
snowmobiles should not
be operated on crop land.
Professor Irwin says
that vast open fields of
snow invite invasion of
private property,
frequently without the
permission of the farmer.
But few people know that
snowmobiles affect the
life of the crop. For
example, if alfalfa is
smothered in the first
winter after planting, the
yield is decreased on that
field as long as the stand
remains Q years).

fields fracture and break
frozen leaves of hay,
pasture plants, and fall
wheat, opening the
possibility of disease
invasion. Snowmobile
tracks also compact the
snow, increasing the
density of the packed
snow and destroying its
insulating value.
A depth of snow
prevents the deep
penetration od frost, says
Professor Irwin. The
increased density and
increase in relative water
content encourages frost
penetration.
"The additional
water content causes ice
to form which in turn may
smother alfalfa or fall
wheat. It may also cause
plant roots to separate
through frost heaving."
Compacted snow also
creates paths for water
which may add to
existing soil erosion
problems.

The Town of Pickering and the federal govern-
ment appear to be on the verge of reaching an agree-
ment over the Pickering museum after five years of
negotiations. -
At Monday night's executive committee meeting,
a resolution advising the federal government of
Pickering's intent to relinquish control over the
movement and restoration of the museum from its
expropriated site in Brougham to the hamlet of
Greenwood two miles away, was defeated.
In its place, Mayor Jack Anderson presented a
"watered down" motion informing the federal
government that the municipality was willing to re-
tain responsibility for the museum if Pickering was
rented the site at a rate of $1. per year. This motion
received unanimous consent from the committee.
The central problem the municipality has encoun-
tered in its negotiations is its inability to produce
definite ownership of the site. Anderson explained
that there were "many clouds on the title", but
assured the committee that the federal government
now has possession of the necessary documents
proving municipal ownership.
Another obstacle to successful negotiations was
federal reluctance to pay Pickering the entire
amount of --the mud igo erty and relocation
costs. The federal -government has withheld
$100,000 of the $528,000 it agreed to pay the munic-
ipality until ownership of the museum site is con-
firmed.
Anderson said that since the federal government
now has the required proof, the municipality should
receive the remainder of the money and the move
should get underway shortly.
Anderson said MP Norm Cafik was "dealing with
innuendos" when he appeared before council re-
cently, accusing the town of keeping him in the dark
of municipal complaints. Cafik had stated that a
federal proposal to charge Pickering $750 a month
rent for the site was acceptable to municipal negotia-
tors led by Anderson.
Anderson claimed the federal government had
agreed to charge only $1 a year and made the offer to
return control of the museum to them because the
museum "is not a revenue producing property."
Cafik publicly stated to the council that he was
prepared to urge the federal government to charge
the $1 rent, but that he could not remember ever
agreeing to this arrangement in the past as Ander---
son said he had.
"His (Cafik's) innuendos are totally untrue,"
Anderson told the committee. "The town is living up
to their end of the agreement, but the federal
government is not.
"It is not a question of money, it is a question of
integrity," he added.
Councillor Norah Geraghty, a strong opponent of
federal control over the museum project, said she
was happy with the new municipal approach, but
urged Anderson to keep council more informed of
the project's development in order to avoid further
confusion in negotiations. _ m

f
Pickering may ha,,c its own hydro commission if
actions taken by Pickering residents and council can
pursuade the Minister of Energy to take action.
In Monday night's council meeting, members of
the newly formed Pickering Citizen Energy Commit
tee asked council's support for a hydro feasibility
study which in the near future would be presented to
Ruben Baetez, Minister of Energy.
The Pickering group which has members repre-
senting ratepayers of East Shore, West Shore,
Rouge Hill, Giengrove, Glendale and West Rouge.
invited members of council to join their association
and help them bring action.
In reply, councillor Kitchen told Mike McFarland,
Co -Chairman of the energy committee that he'd like
to join the group.
Mayor Anderson told the delegation that he had
received a letter from Ruben Baetez which indicated
that he would like to get together with Pickering
representatives and discuss the matter. Baetez
pointed out that changes could not be made to onlc
one community but to all communities.
Councillor .Kitchen pointed out that Regional
Government would have their hands tied in regards
to changes across the board.
The role of energy conservation was brought fort!-.
by councillor Kitchen. He suggested that the grout
look into different ways of saving heating costs. The
Glendale subdivision which was represented in tli.
group have homes that are generally electricaii

Getting forage
seedings started well is
hard in dry soils. Most
failures result from
drying before the
seedling root is well
developed. Seed placed in
a loose soil surface may
germinate after a light
rain, but dry out before it:
really gets going.
Firming the seed bed
with disc harrows and
drag harrows helps the
mositure supply. Ac-
tually, only a small
percentage of forage
seeds survive in the best
of conditions. At normal
seeding rates we put over
50 alfalfa seeds and 150
timothy seeds in a square
foot of soil. So the dif-
ference between 10 per
cent survival and 5 per
cent is success or failure.

At a recent meeting
of the Durham Region
Federation held at
Sunderland the guest
speaker, Bill Benson of
Palmerston, an executive
member of the OFA, gave
a talk on the aims of the
organization for 1977. In
his address he recapped
the remarks of the
president of the OFA,
Peter Hannam, and
stated that if agriculture
was given the proper
priority in the economy it
could very well become a
strong, positive force in
creating jobs with a
future as it was a
renewable resource. We
have a good climate in
Ontario; we possess good
land and we are very
fortunate in having good,
solid people on the land
with a great deal of ex-
pertise leading to ef-
ficiency in the industry.
We are however, Mr.
Benson stated, only about
j percent of the total
population of the province
and although this is a
relatively small number
we control much of the
food consumed by the
balance of the population,
therefore, our "clout" is
much greater than our
numbers would indicate.
Mr. Benson cited
many areas which are of
great concern to the
organization such as
large tariffs which must
be reduced if farmers are
to compete on a level with
our southern neighbours.
Permits unrequired
for farm vehicles '' 4
TORONTO — It is no
longer necessary for
farmers to obtain a
special permit to move
oversized farm vehicles
along a road, if the
vehicles are operated
according to a new
regulation effective April
1.
In announcing the
regulation, Tran-
sportation and Com-
munications Minister
James Snow said that
"oversized farm vehicles
will be exempt from the
weight, width, length and
height limits provided in
Parts VI and VII of The
Highway Traffic Act.
"We have had many
representations from
farm groups on the in-
convenience of the old
special -permit process.
And I am confident the
new regulation will prove
to be far more practical
in its application than the
old arrangement," said
the Minister.
There will be some
road -operating re-
quirements to observe,
the Minister pointed out.
All oversized farm
vehicles are prohibited
from operating on any of
the multilane "400
series" highways, in-
cluding the Ottawa
Queensway; Highway 2A
in Scarborough, the
Kitchener -Waterloo ex-
pressway of the Queen
Elizabeth Way.
There are also
lighting requirements.
Oversized farm vehicles

After several years of inactivity, the archaeologists are at it
again. Excavation of an old Huron settlement near Claremont has
been resumed this summer with the help of government grant. The
site is one of the biggest projects in the history of Canadian ar-
chaeology. It is believed that more than 2,500 Huron Indians lived on
the site 400 years ago. ^-�_ ��7

r Letters
Dear Sir:
Having recently as-
sisted in a very minor
way the Candidate of
my choice in the recent
Pickering Town elec-
tions, I was naturally
pleased when that Can-
didate was elected to
Office. I would have
liked to be present at
the Inaugural meeting
of Council on Monday,
December 4th, to sep
that Councillor take ti,;:
Oath of Office. How-
ever, I will. not be pres-
ent due to the actions of
Council.
I received a tele-
phoned personal invi-
tation to join Council
and a select few invited
guests to a Reception,
following the Inaugural
meeting, which little
party is to be hosted by
Council - and paid for
- by me, and all other
taxpayers in the Town.
This is not an open invi-
tation to all residents
such as was extended
by the Town of Whithv
to its residents, but an
invitation to six couples
from each Councillor. I
cannot accept that all
taxpayers should have
to repay assistance giv-
en in cleciion camp-
• atgnl'-fb-those select
few, and accordingip I
shall attend the Inaug-
Ural meeting and social
wllel�_`*Wl event in WbitbY on
December 4th.
In these times of res-
traint I consider it ab-
solutely criminal that

We Agree
We have to agree with Bob Mason who writes to
the editor in this issue and takes exception to public
money being spent for a Post -Inaugural party for the
new council members and a few of their special
friends.
The party bit we can understand as it would be an
obvious time for a new council to get together for a
bit of an informal time, but not using the public's
money for it. On top of this, it appears that a few sel-
ect people were also invited to join in at the public's
expense.
There are occasions, which in our opinion should
be very special ones, when a council is obligated to
do some entertaining, and when these occasions do
arise, no one would likely object to the council rep-
resenting the people, funding the affair from the
public till. Certainly no one would expect the council
members to dig down into their own pockets to pay
the bill.
It is this sort of thing that leaves a bad taste with
the taxpayers, and we suggest that in future, and
especially in times such as we have at present, that
council keep a very close eye on such type of spend-
ing. It is this sort of thing, even though it may not
cost very much, that people don't readily forget.
We think that Mr. Mason, since he was one of the
select few to be invited to the little party, showed a
good sense of public spirit in having the nerve to
bring this to the public's attention.

Nuclear generator
not running yet
By SANDY READ
PICKERING - Delays are still being experienced in
returning a generating unit at Pickering Nuclear
Generating Station to service. The unit, number one,
was shut down January 4 because it was leaking
radioactive water.
Repairs were done to the unit, which involved
blocking tubes and installing lacing wire to control
vibrations which had caused the leak. Kevin Keane,
station manager, had expected the unit to be back in
service last Friday, then Monday, but there have
been some problems in getting it to work again.
Tuesday morning, Keane said he hoped the unit
would be producing energy by late Tuesday night. He
said, "Anytime you attempt to start up such a big
unit, there is some difficulty."
As well as having the problem with unit one,
another unit at Pickering has been shut down and still
another is not working at full power.
Keane said unit three has been shut down due to a
normal problem' on the turbine and he hopes it will
be back in service by the end of this week.
Unit two is working but producing only up to 80
percent of its normal energy production. Keane said
one moderator in the unit has been isolated and found
to be malfunctioning but it is not so severe as to
necessitate a complete shut down. He said unit two
will probably be working normally by the end of the
--month.

No one was injured in the
fire that destroyed Burnett and

located on Sideline 4 between
the eighth and ninth concessions
of Pickering.
The families and neighbors
were able to save 25 heifers
along with milk records, most

Cattle Burned In
Balsam Barn Fire
By Tony Forde
A raging blaze struck
the Jamieson farm of
Balsam on Monday
night, and although
nobody was injured, it
is estimated that
approximately 65-70
head of dairy cattle,
valued at between $800
and $1500 each, per-
ished in the inferno.
The call was put into
fire officials at about
7:30 pm, and the blaze
was well out of control
long before fire fighters
could reach the scene.
About twenty-five heif-
fers were saved from
the fire, which burned
out of control until
about 10:30 pm. The
loss to the Jamieson
family will be great
though, considering
the approximate value
of the cattle alone is
around $60,000. Dam-
age to the barn and
silos was not estimated
at press time.
Bystanders claim to
have heard an explo-
;ion prior to seeing the
Harries, which shot
about 100 feet into the
air and could be seen as
far away as Pickering
Golf Club. After the
fire had been out of
control about two hours
firemen gave up hope
of saving the barn and
concentrated on saving
the silos, valued at
somewhere around
$70,000, according to
many onlookers. Accor-
ding to fire fighters,
the cattle did not burn,
but were suffocated by
the intense heat and
smoke which were giv-

A truck remained on the
scene, Tuesday, as debris
continued to burn.
The fire chief's report
estimates damage at $250,000.
The cause remains a
mystery.
Mrs. Jamieson told how a
grandson Ray Jamieson, was
the first to spot the fire. It
began, she said, near the top of
the building.
ular fire.
The blaze attracted
about 30 fire fighters,
and even ambulance
attendants from Toron-
to, who were on hand to
help out in case an
emergency occured.
According to specula-
tion, the blaze may
have started due to
some faulty wiring in
the barn area. Bystan-
ders speculate the
north barn was the first
to surrender -to the
sweltering flames,
which swept through
the building in a matter
of minutes.

DURHAM REGION
Salaries and personal expenses

Council in 1979 will total an

committee chairman John Aker
revealed this week.
This figure includes a
replacement car for chairman
Walter Beath; meals and
mileage for 30 councillors and
memberships in various
associations.
Much of the budget is
consumed by salaries —
$429,030; up four per cent over
'78.
Chairman Beath is allowed
$1,000 for gifts should V.I.P.'s
come to the area. If the occasion
warrants, a reception may be
held with the cost not to exceed
$1,000.
An amount of $4,475 has
been set aside to cover the cost
of a new car for the chairman
plus repairs, gas and oil.
Urgelcommon sense,oi

DURHAM YORK —
William G. Newman, M.P.P.,
Durham -York and Ontario's
Minister of Agriculture, has
called for "use of common
sense" in applying the Food
Premises Act to "the letter of
the law" where church suppers
and service club banquets are
concerned.
Addressing a Durham
Region Federation of
Agriculture meeting in Port
Perry, recently, Mr. Newman
suggested the director of en-
vironmental health should "lay
off those people who are giving
up their time freely to raise
funds for worthwhile causes."
Without mentioning Dr. Ted
Watts by name, the Minister
threatened to take his complaint
to Dennis Timbrell (Minister of
Health), if forced.
"All I want is common sense
to rule. Sure, there are certain
standards to meet, everyone
knows that, but that's where
common sense must prevail,"
he stated.
The degree to which the law
might be enforced had become a
concern all across the province,
he said.

Norah Geraghty
Asks repair of
concession road
PICKERING — If coun-
cillor Norah Geraghty has her
way, Pickering's 5th concession,
extending west from the Brock
Road, will be repaired this
summer.
In a debate over how much
money should be spent and
where, councillor Geraghty said
this section could not be ignored
even though it's part of the
proposed North Pickering
development.
"It's one of the worst roads
in the municipality., The whole
situation is dangerous," she
stated.
However, Mayor Jack
Anderson wasn't convinced the
Town should spend so much
money in an area that could be
removed from its jurisdiction.
Ray Hutchinson, director of
public works, has recommended
expenditures of $739,100 for
maintenance and $432,000 for
construction. Both amounts will
be subsidized by the province.

as "the most efficient team in
the whole province." The
nucleus of the group was an
active Venturer company
under the direction of Larry
Walmsley. "They are a skilled
and dedicated bunch now,"
she says proudly. They provide
their own clothing, boots and
pack equipment, which is
worth over $1000 per man.
They have an active team of
32, with a back-up group of
about 75. A 12-man "lightning
team" is the crack center of the
group, and all are equipped
with pagers.
Members of Haney W.I. will
visit the new PEP headquarters
later this month.

Birthday was a
day to remember
BROUGHAM — Turning 90
years old was a day to
remember for Mabel Farley,
thanks to her two daughters,
Helen Holtby and Phyllis
Madill, and all the people who
attended her birthday
celebration, April 18.
Mabel was the recipient of
many flowers, cards, gifts, and
MABEL FARLEY
good wishes from old friends,
three grandchildren, and seven
great -grand -children.
Born on a farm in Pickering
Township, on April 18, 1889, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
George White, she has lived in
the area all her life.
Much of her childhood and
married life was spent on farms
between Brougham and
Pickering on the Brock Road.
However, she also resided near
Claremont and attended the
public school there.
In March 1919, she married
Jim Farley, a fireman and
drover. He passed away in 1961.
"I don't feel I've changed a
bit," Mabel says. "I still feel
like I'm seventy. 1f T -- 'd

Another co-operative
effort took place in
Greenwood on Saturday
when about 15 of the
Mount Zion and Green-
wood men shingled the
roofs of the manse ;and
garage. A fine day, the
occasional cup of coffee
and muffins all helped
them complete the work.
Mrs. Margaret Frew
was pleased to have her
daughter, Mrs. D. Hitch -
cox and grandchildren
Susan and Jennifer of
Cape Elizabeth, Maine,
visiting with her this past
week.

''vhousing project
PICKERING — People or
Planes committee chairman Dr.
Charles Godfrey has called
provincial government plans for
a city of 90,000 in North
Pickering and accompanying
industrial growth "second guess
planning."
This fall, the provincially
Firearms
still pose
problems
PICKERING — Regional
Councillor Gerry Fisher con-
tinues to receive complaints
about firearms near the North
Pickering Hiking Trail, despite
the ban there.
"I've received complaints
about people taking target
practice around the trail in
Whitevale using pellet guns."
said the Ward 3 regional
councillor.
The problem arose shortly
after council voted to allow
.hunting to continue north of
Hwy. No. 7, despite opposition
from surrounding residents.
At the same time, hunting
was prohibited near the North
Pickering Trail.
Councillor Fisher plans to
meet with the Pickering Rod
and Gun Club to discuss
methods of curbing the
discharge of weapons near the
hiking route.
"What I would like to see
are signs put up around the area
indicating no firearms," Mr.
Fisher said.
owned Ontario Land Cor-
poration, which holds about
25,000 acres there, hopes to set
wheels of the project in motion
with an amendment to the
Durham Region Official Plan.
The first stage of residential
construction for 22,500 new
residents on 6,900 acres may
begin in 1982.
The P.O.P. leader, who
currently has his group working
on an alternative land use plan
for the entire North Pickering
area, says these government
plans mean "they're chewing up
good farmland."
The former MPP for
Durham West, explains he's not
opposed to residential growth in
Pickering, as long as it doesn't
involve farms.
Dr. Godfrey added,
"There's lots of serviced in-
dustrial land in south Pickering
that's sitting idle. It makes
economic sense to put that in-
dustrial growth in the south end,
because that's where the main
transportation links are and
where they already support
services."
Dr. Godfrey predicted the
housing project will bring
unemployment to the region and
strain Durham's social services.
"Most of the people moving
into this area will be couples
under 30, and the government
won't be creating permanent
employment for them," he
explained.
Two Pickering Town
councillors, Norah Geraghty
and Doug Dickerson, have
expressed concern that the
provincial government will
ignore the local planning
process while implementing the
project.
Support rental
' of community hall
BROUGHAM — The Town
of Pickering's executive
committee has voted
unanimously to maintain the
hamlet's community hall and
ballpark for residents, and will
recommend Council grant the
community $4,00o to upgrade
the facilities.
Before agreeing to continue
renting the expropriated
building from the federal
government, Pickering Council
asked Brougham citizens to
show a meaningful parks and
very extensive program exists
and assured members both
facilities will thrive.
He expressed disap-
pointment when Pickering
recreation director Tom Quinn
recommended only $2,500 be
expended to bring the hall up to
a "minimum standard".
Mr. McGregor said, "There
have been times when residents
of Brougham have felt they are
being ignored by Council. We're
in a situation now where we not
only need moral support, but
financial assistance as well."

PURPLE HILL — The often heard tale
about Canadian artists gaining recognition in
the U.S. before they are accepted in their

the rejection of the Lishman Rocker by an

on their way up stream
to spawn. The pool will
also act as a jumping
pool being deep enough
to allow the Salmonand

2nd airport not
needed a=1VII'F
By Ian Sutton 4 f
Toronto Star
PICKERING .— A sec-
ond airport is not needed
to serve the Toronto re-
gion, MPP Bill Newman
said yesterday.
The federal government,
however, should hold onto
the 18,000 acres it expro-
priated for the Pickering
Airport and make it avail-
able to farmers under
long-term renewable
leases, the former Ontario
agriculture minister said
in an interview.
"I stand on what I said
on March 2, 1972, and I
haven't changed. There's
no need for an airport."
Newman, whose
Durham -York riding in-
cludes most of the airport
zone, said he would prefer
the land not be sold back to
private ownership so it can
be leased at reasonable
cost to young farmers.
People Or Planes wants
the land sold back to guar-
antee an airport will never
be built, he suggested.
"I think their concern is
that someday they might
still use it for an airport. If
something is needed in
2010, fine. But I can't see
it.
"The big thing, whether
yo have 20 year leases or
five-year leases, is make
sure you have appropriate
people in there that aren't
just renting a'farm to get a
house. They're going to
farm it."
Newman, who resigned
from the Ontario cabinet
last month for health rea-
V, 1111
sons, said he had been
working on granting 10-
year leases for provincial
land in the area to help
young farmers get estab-
lished. I
"I think it's great that
young people are .coming
out of agricultural colleges
and are going back to
farming," he said. "Here's
land they can lease at a
reasonable price to farm."
A decision will have to
be made by 1982 if the
Pickering Airport is to be
built, he said, but other
transportation methods
should be studied more
seriously. Newman said a
third terminal should be
built at Malton.
"There's no real runway
problem at Malton; it's a
people problem — all those
people saying hello and
goodbye and everything
else. As far as I'm concern-
ed, I don't think you'll ever
see the second airport
built."

Retires From
After sev
Ontario Minister of
Agriculture, William G.
Newman has left the
Ontario Cabinet, due to
ill health.
Prior to his cabinet
post change, Mr. New-
man was Environmental
Minister. He had been a
member of the Ontario
Legislature for several
years and had been suc-
cessful in several elec-
tion campaigns.
Bill Newman started
his political career by
getting elected to Pick-
ering Town Council and
working up through to
the office of Deputy -
Reeve and then Reeve.
His many friends and
supporters in this area

inister
resigns portfolio
DURHAM-YORK — The
resignation of William G. (Bill)
Newman from the Agriculture
and Food Ministry, has been
received with regret by Ontario
Premier Wm. Davis.
"He has served this
government and the people of
this province with commitment,
enthusiasm and great
dedication," said Premier
Davis. "It's always difficult to
agree to the resignation of one
who has worked so hard and
effectively, but when the
minister's own health is the
issue at stake, there is no choice
but to respect the very difficult
decision Mr. Newman has been
forced to make".
Bill Newman told The
Tribune he will continue to
represent the Riding of
Durham -York.
In commenting on his past
portfolio, he said the work had
brought him great satisfaction
because, in his words,
"agriculture is central to the
economy of Ontario".
His letter of resignation
read in part: "I appreciate the
confidence you (Mr. Davis) had
in me to give me first the en-
vironment portfolio and later
the agriculture and food. You
have always been a strong
supporter of rural Ontario which
was confirmed many times
when you supported me during
Cabinet discussions. Your at-
titude in this regard gave me a
lot of encouragement when I
met farm groups across this
province and worked with them
to help find solutions to their
problems".
Bill Newman was first
elected to the Ontario
Legislature in 1967 and sub-
sequently re-elected in 1971, 1975
and 1977. Previously, he served
as councillor, deputy -reeve and
reeve in the Twp. of Pickering.
He and his family reside at
Balsam.

GREENWOOD — The
Pickering Museum has a new
home in Greenwood, and when it
officially re -opens, Saturday,
visitors are assured of a treat.
The annual Greenwood
Festival and the opening
ceremonies will be combined
this year to make the day a
memorable occasion. At-
tractions will include antique
cars, a craft display, and steam
tractors.
Lieutenant -- Governor
Pauline McGibbon will deliver
the opening address and unveil
the plaque at the museum site.
The move began in
December last year when a few
of the 13 structures were
transported from Brougham to
Greenwood, two miles away.
The buildings include a
hotel, a church, an Oddfellows
Hall, several houses, shops, and
a gas and steam barn. The
structures and equipment date
back to the 1800's. The museum
will be in full operation by 1980.
Thomas Quinn, Director of
Parks and Recreation for the
Town of Pickering, says many
people have the feeling the
museum is primarily "for those
in the north."
"It must be promoted as a
place for everyone to enjoy," he
said.

Half -century milestone
KINSALE — Frank
and Rowena Barclay
didn't publicize their 50th
wedding anniversary.
They planned to celebrate
the occasion with a
gathering of family
relatives and close
friends in Oshawa,
Saturday .evening.
Nothing more. However,
both have resided in the
area too long for that. The
well-known and highly
respected couple were the
recipients of dozens of
cards and good wishes,
all of which adorn the
living room of their neat -
as -a -pin home on Balsam
Road, south of Hwy. 7.
They've lived there three
years.
Mr. Barclay, a native
of Pickering, was born at
lot 19, cone. 6, the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles A.
Barclay. He attended
Mount Pleasant Public
School on the 7th con-
cession and Claremont
Continuation School.
Mrs. Barclay, the
former Rowena Cooper,
calls Claremont `home'
although she lived for a
time in Chazy, New York.
Her parents were Frank
and Mary Cooper.
Rev. Alex McLellan
united them in marriage,
Sept. 14, 1929 and they
immediately departed on

1 Newman worked
It was disappointing to hear that William Newman
has left the Ontario cabinet owing to poor health. Bill
_ has been Minister of Agriculture for several years and
- has been a resident of the Pickering area all his life.
After graduating from Agriculture College, he man-
aged his father's farms for several years, and in fact
never got very far from the land at anytime.
His first venture into politics was at the municipal
level when 1,e got elected to the Pickering Council. Fie
moved up to Deputy -Reeve, then was elected Reeve.
Bill did a good job while on the local council and he
always did his homework.
Doing a good job at the municipal level prepared him
for the provincial level and he has been through many
campaigns as a victor.
Bill Newman as a member of the Ontario government
always gave his best for his own riding. When he be-
came a minister, a lot of his time had to be spent out in
the province. Despite this, when he got home, he
looked after the calls from his own constituents.
It is with regret that we have to see Bill give up his
post. He -did a very good job and most people in this
area, whether of his politics or some other party, always
l
felt they could go to Bill with a problem and he would
look after it.
The man who takes over from Bill Newman will have I a __ .
to be wearing pretty large shoes.
'Thanks Bill for the fine job you have done for Picker-
ing and the riding over the years.

the sale.
The agreement will include
a retainer clause, which states
the Town must use the school for
public purposes, and can't sell it
to a private concern.
The old school will be sold
with 3/4 of an acre, and parking
in the Valley View Public School
will have to be worked out in the
contract.
The original bell, which is
now at the Pickering Museum,

PICKERING — "Seaton"
has been selected by the Board
of Directors of the Ontario Land
Corporation as the official name
for an urban community in the
North Pickering planning area
in Durham Region, housing
Minister Claude Bennett an-
nounced today.
Seaton encompasses 7,000
acres on the eastern portion of a
25,200 acre planning area and is
located on the east side of West
Duff in Creek within the Town of
Pickering.
It is presently designated a
"Major Urban Area" in
Durham's Official Plan and will
be developed by the Ontario
Land Corporation, an agency of
the government of Ontario for
an eventual population of 75,000
to 90,000 over a 25-year
development period.
Bennett said OLC will be
making application later this
month to the Region of Durham
for an amendment to the
Region's O.P. describing the
various land uses within Seaton.
The minister also indicated
that Robert N. McDonald, chief
executive officer of OLC, is
planning to make a presen-
tation, Nov. 14 t^ a joint meeting
of Durham and the Town of
Pickering councils detailing the
corporations long-term plan for
Seaton.
The name for the new
planned community was
selected in honor of Lord Seaton,
Sir John Colborne, the first
Lieutenant Governor of Upper
Canada (1828-1836).
Considered first of Canada's
ablest founders, Lord Seaton
encouraged immigration and
agriculture in the rural areas
around York (Toronto).
Through his effort, land east
of Toronto in the Pickering area
was settled in the mid 1800's by
English, Irish, Scottish, and
Welsh families who set up farms
and helped improve local
commerce.
Lord Seaton also founded

Oppose,
PICKERING — Two federal
government MPs will publicly
encourage Transport Minister
Donald Mazankowski to drop
plans for Pickering Airport and
a Toronto Island Short Take -off
and Landing (STOL) port, it was
announced in a news conference
recently.
Ontario Riding MP Scott
Fennell and Toronto -Beaches
MP Robin Richardson put
forward a co-ordinated air plan
which calls for construction of
STOL ports at Downsview and
South Pickering.
"This country can't afford
a billion dollar expenditure for a
major airport," MP Scott
Fennell said. "Especially when
it's not needed. And a downtown
Toronto STOLport is senseless.
STOLports, if their convenience
is to be maximized, should be
located near the suburbs."
There are presently
proposals for a fourth runway
and a third terminal building at
Malton in conjunction with a
scaled -down Pickering airport.
The new Pickering plan calls for
a one -runway operation and
modest terminal for late -night
passenger and cargo flights.
About 43,000 acres of prime
farmland were earmarked by
the federal government in 1972
for the airport.
But Fennell doesn't agree
with the suggestion.
"Pickering doesn't want a
major international airport, or a
scaled -down one -runway. If we
locate a STOLport in the south of
the expropriated area, 42,800 of
43,000 acres of farmland will be

turned over to young farmers on
a long-term lease basis. A
thriving, stable and productive
community wouid develop in
North Pickering, as opposed to
the present sterile site super-
vised by the federal govern-
ment," he said.
Fennell and Richardson feel
the previous government had
inconsistent transportation
policies because it failed to
solicit public input. They are
hoping people with an interest in
Toronto -area air traffic will let
their views be made known to
them.
"I'm optimistic that people
will let us know their views,"
said Fennell. "Ours is both a
political and a technical
proposal. We represent our
ridings, not an insensitive
government department."
The two MPs are hoping
their "teamwork approach" will
impress Mazankowski when he
considers their proposal.,,

Seventy years for IniJsw
Nrtn �cer
CLAREMONT — On Feb. 9,
1909, the Claremont Women's
institute was formed, and in
about a week, members will be
celebrating the organization's
loth anniversary.
Dorothy Britton has been
President for 10 of those 70
years, and says she's enjoyed
the experience. But there are
presently or-?y about 24 active
members, and Dorothy feels the
Institute has lost some of the
prominence it once had in the
community.
:There are so many other
service clubs in the area, and
they are able to do things we
can't afford. Today, I think our
role is more to educate women
in home -making, rather than
provide services to the com-
munity," says Dorothy.
Women's Institutes can be
found world-wide, and the basic
concept of their formation is "to
make better homes and a better
community".
The Claremont ladies meet
on the third Wednesday of each
month for just this purpose. For
three hours in the afternoon,
members speak on topics they
have chosen, learn tips on
cooking and sewing, and
socialize with friends.
The club used to cater to
gala events, but now other
organizations with more
members and better facilities
have become involved.'
Membership is only a dollar

Regional Trustee Linda Carder
would like to see more teacher
exchanges between Boards,

She also feels a teacher at a
school more than five years
should be told to consider a
position at another location.
"Often teachers become
comfortable in their jobs, and
get so used to doing things a
certain wa-v, they are unable to
contribute new ideas."
She said charges are
necessary in any institution, but
unfortunately new teachers,
who are not "pre-programmed"
and car. give valuable input, are
often supressed by the old
system and particularly the
other staff who like to keep

"Exchanges are not
mandatory, and a teacher can
ask for a year at a school of his
choice. Wben he returns from
this experience, he can relate it
to the students."
The teacher exchanges are
a valuable way of introducing
change, she said, but change is

Historic
school
gets
council's
support
PICKERING - The old
Greenwood school, once
attended by former prime
minister John Diefen-
baker, will get the funds
necessary to restore and
retain its historical value
as a public library.
At Monday's council
meeting, it was decided to
grant the Pickering
Public Library Board
additional funds of $78,000
to go ahead with the
project.
A year ago, council
approved the project in
principle but requested
that the library board find
more funding.
Gwen Mowbray,
chairman, reported to
council on Monday that
The Ontario Heritage
Foundation had agreed to
supply a grant in the
amount of $30,000 and
Promised to pay half the
cost of the furnishings
estimated at $6,000.
Councillor Norah
Geraghty put a motion
before council that the
town supply the
remaining funds to the
board contingent upon the
school board making the
property available to the
town for a nominal fee, a
maximum of $10.
"There is no question of
the need for a library,"
said Geraghty. She in-
dicated that the library
would be next door to a
regional school and would
Provide facilities for the
village and the children
who do not have library I
facilities available. She r
also said, "The
restoration for historic a
value is a valid one." t.
Councillor Laurie r
Cahill said he would
rather build a new h
library, but supported the h
motion on the basis that 1
the school would be ob-
tained from the school
board for $10, which he
indicated he doubted.

Pickering councillor Norah Ger-
aghty comes in for some high praise
from a constituent for her good
work.
Norah is
intelligent,
informed,
concerned.
To the editor:
On July 30, 1 attended yet another i
meeting at the municipal buildi _
Pickering.
At each meeting I have attended and,
indeed, July 30's meeting-- I have been
greatly impressed with councillor Norah
Geraghty.
This intelligent, informed and concerned
woman carries out her duties as councillor in
an admirable manner.
Mrs. Geraghty has the courage of her
convictions, a rare and refreshing quality in
politicians today. She shines like a bright star
in the town council chambers.
The ratepayers of Ward 3 are indeed for-
tunate to have a person of Mrs. Geraghty's
calibre as one of our representatives on
council.
"With the next municipal elections to take
place in the fall of 1980, I would urge all
ratepayers to attend more council meetings
to see how their elected representatives deal
with the town's business. They may be
dismayed, or, as in my case, delighted, to see
their particular representatives in action.
Councillor Geraghty appears to be a person
with considerable capabilities and a very
bright future in municipal politics if she so
desires.

AJAX-PICKERING - Despite partial blindness, 80
ear -old Margaret Frew of Pickering maintains a
arge home and remains independent.
When she does need assistance, help is a phone call
sway.
Frew is one of 150 people who call the Ajax -
Pickering Community Care Association every month
for assistance.
Community Care, partially funded by the Ajax-
ickering United Way, is a non-profit organization
Idictoviding services to senior citizens, the han-
apped, and those in special need where such
services are not otherwise available within the
community.
Frew contacts Community Care when she needs
transportation for medical appointments, shopping,
or when she needs someone to do maintenance at her
home.
"I started using the Community Care services two
years ago and find it very useful," says Frew.
Frew says she "knows every nook and cranny" of
her spacious home and is quite able to tend to her
meals and housekeeping she explains. "But, doctors
appointments and grocery shopping present a
problem. This is when I call Community Care".
Elaine Hlady, coordinator of Ajax -Pickering
Community Care, says Community Care "acts as a
gap service." We do not duplicate what other
associations have to offer", she says.
There is always a tremendous need for more
volunteers to drive people to necessary ap-
pointments. Some senior citizens must travel on three
separate buses to reach the local hospital (Ajax -
Pickering) from Bay Ridges.
Community Care volunteers pick seniors up at their.
homes and drive them directly to the hospital and
home again.
Besides offering rides, the volunteers also help in
such home maintenance as washing windows, cutting
grass, or doing yard work.
THE NEWS ADVERTISER, AUGUST 8,1979--9
ed Way helps through Community Care
This year, the Ajax -Pickering United Way has
allotted $5,800 to the local Community Care
Association. The 1979 United Way campaign will be
officially launched on Monday, September 12.
Over $140,000 will be collected in order that
agenciek such as the Ajax -Pickering Community
Care can continue to offer vital services to the
community.
Murray Stroud, United Way campaign chairman,
says that "all 14 agencies will get every cent they
need".
Community Care takes care of Frew's tran-
sportation needs and eliminates the problem.
Frew's independence wasn't acquired in her senior
years. For over 30 years, the Pickering resident
handled a full-time career as a dress designer. She
travelled on business to such places as Australia and
Europe. In addition, Frew and her husband raised a
son and a daughter. "My son lives in Bramalea and
my daughter in Maine. Despite the distance, she
maintains a solid relationship with her children and
grandchildren. Mr. Frew passed away a few years
ago.
The organizers of Community Care are aware of
the financial implications of driving people to ap-
pointments. Volunteers are reimbursed for tran-
sportation cost, and if a client is able to offer payment
for transportation, it is accepted.
Frew pays for the services. "I'm able to pay. I'm a
very proud person and wouldn't take anything from
anyone," she states.
For those not able to pay for the service, the cost is
handled by Community Care.
"The volunteers associated with Community Care
are tremendous people," says Frew. She adds, "I
even got someone from Community Care to help pave
my driveway."
Anyone interested in volunteering for Community
Care should call 839-5505.
Stroud, divisional chairmen and a host of volun-
teers have organized an extensive campaign. "Every
resource in Ajax and Pickering will be tapped to
assure that people like Margaret Frew can remain
independent and happy in the local community.
The following is a list of agencies supported by the
Ajax -Pickering United Way and the tentative
allocations for 1980: Ajax -Pickering -Whitby
Association for Retarded Children - $12,000; Big
Brothers Association - 15,632; Canadian National
Institute for the Blind - $12,600; Canadian Red Cross

OTTAWA (CP) s Arthur Tremblay, regarded as a
strong Quebec nationalist and a father of the Liberal
Quiet Revolution in that province, will sit as a Conserv-
ative in the Senate.
The appointment of Tremblay, 62, was one of three an-
nounced by Prime Minister Joe Clark yesterday and
brings to 24 the number of Tories in the 104-seat Senate.
The other two are Guy Charbonneau, 57, Conservative
fund collector in Quebec, and Martha Bielish, 63, long-
time Alberta Tory.
The new appointments leave five vacancies in the Sen-
ate and these are expected to be filled in the next few
weeks.
Liberal majority
The Liberals still have an overwhelming majority in
the Senate with 71 seats. The remaining vacancies are
two in New Brunswick and one each in Manitoba, New-
foundland and Prince Edward Island.
Tremblay, an officer of the Order of Canada, is a close
friend of External Affairs Minister Flora MacDonald.
As a deputy minister of education in the Liberal gov-
ernment of Jean Lesage in the 1960s he was regarded as
one of the main architects of the Quiet Revolution, the
birth of modern Quebec nationalism.
He has held a number of positions with Liberal govern-
ments, the last as deputy minister of intergovernmental
affairs under Robert Bourassa.
The prime minister's office hinted that Clark will
make use of Tremblay's knowledge of Quebec by giving
him a special advisory status.
Charbonneau, president of an insurance company is
vice-chairman of the Conservative Canada Fund of Que-
bec and party finance chairman in Quebec.
The appointment of Mrs. Bielish kills one recurrent
rumor on Parliament Hill: That Marcel Lambert, veter-
an Tory MP from Edmonton, was to be appointed to the
Senate to take the Speaker's chair.
Mrs. Bielish has been involved in Women's Institute
work for manv years. She is a former president of the
Federated Women 's institutes of Canada and former
council member of the Associated Country Women of the
World.

Airport Not Needed
Till Year 2000
Transport Minister
Don Mazankowski said
Monday morning that
expansion of Toronto
international Airport
could make it possible
for the facility to serve
the community for a
decade or longer. A
fixed term of 10-15 years
should be set during
which time continuing
alternative use of the
land would be guaran-
teed.
"My hard lobbying
has Paid off." said
Ontario Riding M.P.
Scott Fennell immedi-
ately after Transport
Minister Don Mazan-
kowski's statement
Monday on the expropri-
ation of airport lands.
"He wants to guaran-
tee a long term use of
the land for 10-15 years.
I'm more optimistic. I
don't think a second
major airport even has to
be considered till the
year 2000."
Fennell said, "Now
it's time to seriously
consider proposals sim-
ilar to those of People or
Planes while retaining
government ownership
of the land. North Pick-
ering farmland is not
going to be sterile
anymore."

_ ,� MY PRIORITIES AS YOUR M.P.
In March of 1978 1 made a decision to run for the Federal Parliament and before
making that decision set forth my priorities and reasons for becoming involved in
the parliamentary process. From that time till now my convictions have not changed.
However, the changes that I'd hoped to accomplish, I realize now will be much slower
forthcoming than I had originally anticipated due to the immense bureaucratic sys-
tem within which a democracy operates.
Leaving the private sector and moving to Parliament requires going through a total-
ly new educational process and because of this it is necessary to spend a minimum of
four hours a day and upwards to eight to ten hours a day of constant reading to
familiarize myself with the many facets of government and in particular those areas
which coincidentally were and still remain my major interests.
1. My first priority is to somehow bring some sense to the democratic process and to
shrink the size of government which has become more of an impediment to the
electorate than an advantage. This, I appreciate, will take time but it can be ac-
complished through the following steps:
a. Avoiding duplication of effort by various departments.
b. Disposing of Crown Corporations that have basically outlived their usefulness.
C. Reviewing each Departmentin Government to eliminate the various "little em-
pires" that have been created by some of the longtime bureaucrats.
d. Instituting Sunset Laws in the Federal Government to provide a review of each
agency over a five year period so as to monitor its usefulness and determine
whether it is serving the purpose for which it was originally conceived.

Report
from
Queen's
Park
December
1979
by BILL NEWMAN M.P.P. DURHAM-YORK RIDING
At this time of year, the holiday season gives us all
-- the occasion to express time-honoured thoughts of
appreciation for countless friends and the warmest
wishes for continued health and happiness throughout
the new year.
This year, I have decided that the major job of sending
holiday greeting cards throughout the Durham -York
area, while a desirable project, has become wastefully
expensive when there are so many worthwhile local
charities that could benefit from money that is normally
spent in such things as Christmas postage.
Accordingly, for the first time, I have made donations
to five deserving groups in this Riding that can make
more productive use of the funds that were formerly
spent in buying greeting cards and sending them to
friends and residents throughout the widespread
Durham -York area.
I hope that this change of emphasis will not be
misunderstood by those who do not receive a personal
holiday greeting from Molly and me this Christmas.
Please appreciate with us the fact that the money
represented by our Christmas card mailing is being put
to more worthwhile uses by some of our less privileged
Durham -York neighbors.
Women ask
ban on TV
hygiene ads
A ban on television
advertising of feminine hy-
giene products is being
sought by the Federated
Women's Institutes of
Ontario.
May Brown of Washago,
a spokesman for the insti-
tute, said the request came
after institute members
wrote hundreds of letters
to manufacturers of the
products complaining
without success about the
ads.
Send brief
Mrs. Brown said the
group will send a brief to
the Canadian Radio -televi-
sion and Telecommunica-
tions Commission asking it
to amend the restricted
use of the ads to allow for a
complete ban.
Currently, advertise-
ments for feminine hy-
giene products can be
aired on television between
9 a.m. and 4 p.m. and after
9 P.M.
"We are not satisfied
with these hours," said
Mrs. Brown. "Many chil-
dren are home during the
day, especially in the win-
ter, so they're able to see
the ads.
`Embarrassing'
"And at night it is terri•
bly embarrassing to be sit.
ting with a mixed group of
teenagers who are still up
and have the ads appear."
The 28,000-member
institute, which represents
the interests of rural
women, is holding its annu-
al board meeting 1$ere.

PICKERING — A new
business off ice opened Dec. 17 at
the Pickering Corporate Centre
to deal with public queries
dealing with the Seaton
proposal.
Robert M. McDonald, chief
executive officer of Ontario
Land Corporation, developers of
the 7,000 acre community, east
of West Duffin Creek, said, "The
main reason for opening this
office is to have staff within
Durham to answer questions,
discuss development op-
portunities with interested
parties, and to facilitate the
development approval
process."
Seaton will be a "live -work"
community with an ultimate
population of 75,000 to 90,000
after a 25 to 30 year period. It

$6T 6-million proposal
Council cans plans 1
By SANDRA COOKE
DURHAM - A $6.62 million dollar plan for additions
to regional headquarters was defeated at regional
council last Wednesday after four votes, by 19 to 7.
Oshawa Mayor Jim Potticary said during the two
hour discussion on the issue that, if the addition was
put on, "some taxpayers would come down here and
blow the building up." He said the project was ill-
advised and too expensive, adding that taxes would
increase by three percent to pay for it.
He said this was not the time to consider such a
project, when all other governments are cutting
back, and that council should listen to the people.
Potticary suggested that when times were better
the region should build a new building altogether.
But, for now, he said, "we can't afford it and the
taxpayers can't afford it."
Councillor Gerry Fisher said he would have sup-
ported the motion if it was made some years ago to
bring all departments under one roof, but, con-
sidering expansion today, people were forgetting that
"today's expensive."
Councillor Allan Pilkey said a report by the chief
administrative officer (CAO) shows that if the
building was approved the region would be living on

Will Ajax Become
Another Love
Canal?
by Charlotte Gentles
"We all must speak at the Environmental Assess-
ment Hearing," Mrs. Pat Brown told an overflow aud-
ience at the Ajax Community Centre. The Concerned
Citizens not only attracted people from the Ajax area,
they attracted Metro Toronto Television Stations. The
public in general is concerned about the dumping of
,Industrial Liquid Wastes and the proposed treatment
for such wastes willy-nilly throughout the province. It
was learned during the meeting Dec. 11th. the Ministry
of Environment has at least two other Industrial waste
plant sites under discussion.
The concerned Citizens Committee is strongly op-
posed to the proposal to convert the Ajax Sewage Treat-
ment plant on Valley Road into an Industrial Liquid
Waste Treatment plant. They are opposed as the "pro-
posed site is wrong. This plant will be less than three--
quarters of a mile from the nearest house."
Concern was also expressed about the quality of the
drinking water. The outlet pipe for this industrial waste
plant will be about two kilometres, about a mile and a
half, from the "drinking water intake pipe." As Mrs.
Brown presented the brief to the approximately 200
people present she said, "we have been horrified to
learn that cyanide wastes will be stored and treated.at
this proposed plant. The Simcoe Engineering people
who did this preliminary study have admitted that cyan-
ide IS a problem, and that nobody in the waste disposal
industry really knows how to treat cyanide wastes eff-
ectively. This will be only one of the effluents going
into our lake."
"We all must speak at the Hearing (The Environ-
mental Assessment Hearing Dec. 17th, Ajax), Mrs. Pat
Brown said. "The only way we can be heard is by being
involved."

Eleciion
--- The Canadian government was toppled last week
during a non -confidence vote by a margin of six and
Prime Minister Joe Clark has had parliament dissolved
and called for a federal election for February 18th.
This election will have a cost the Canadian public
$100 million in the same year and the end results in
February will be something of interest, if nothing better
than we have had before.
Joe Clark and his party have been in power less than
seven months, and it is interesting to note that over the
years, the Conservatives have had the least time in
power.
In his election promises he gave a lot of people hope
that he could right the ship and get us on the right
course again. He was not able to do this because of the
present economic situation. He made promises he
must have known he could not keep, but then again a
man who is desperate to become a leader and have
power can get a little off base.
The budget brought down last week was what brought.
down the government, and it is good, but amusing to
read that the gas hike has already been dropped and
people are being asked to go back to the gas dealers
and try and get a rebate. Unless the car driver had a
receipt from a certain service station, he has little hope
of getting his money back.
In the meantime the Liberal caucus has decided it
wants Pierre Trudeau to again lead the party and act as
Prime Minister if elected. It will be interesting to see
how the people of Canada will react to it. How much
would you like to bet that Norm Cafik will be giving
serious consideration to returning to the political front?
Yes, this should be a very interesting election, but
what is there to choose from, that will be one of the
hardest questions of all to decide.

Seaton Will
Have Strong
Influence
on Ajax
By Charlotte Gentles
Ajax. Regional ILouncillor Bill McLean, in making his
report to the Ajax Council at its regular meeting, poin-
ted out it was his practice to report on activities that
would have a direct affect on Ajax, and those residents
of Ajax. But he broke his practice to report on the
development of the North Pickering Community, now
known as Seaton. He said it will not have a direct affect
on Ajax but "it will very definitely have a strong
indirect affect on Ajax. "
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ontario Land Cor-
poration R.M. McDonald on November 14th appeared
before the Regional Council to outline plans for the d
development of the North Pickering project lands. The
corporation has applied to amend the Region's Official
Plan to designate land uses and a transportation net-
work within the North Pickering (Seaton) Major Urban
area. The lands proposed for development border on
Ajax's west boundary, north of the C.P.R. tracks, south
of the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks on Ajax's west
border, the lands are designated as part of Seaton's
open space system.
The corporation plans to commence the first phase of
the development of a community of 75,000-90,000
people in 1982, Councillor McLean reported. Of the
21,000 acres owned by the corporation in North Pick-
ering, about 7,000 acres will be used to develop Seaton.
The development of this acreage will include both resi
dential and industrial projects. Approximately 8,000
acres has been set aside for open space abutting the
west and southern portion of the total site, and 10,000
acres will be retained for agricultural purposes
immediately west of the community. The initial 6,000
units, which will house 16,000 units of the first phase,
will be based in the southeast corner of Seaton.
Councillor McLean reported that, the most easterly
portion of the Seaton community, beside,the Ajax bor.
der, is being designated for industrial development.
The plan is to construct 250 units in 1982, 450 units in
1983, 550 units in 1984, 740 units in 1985 and 900 units
in 1986. This leaves 1,500 units to be constructed in
each of 1987 and 1988. The Ontario Land Corporation
will service the developable land then sell the serviced
land to private enterprise for construction.
It was indicated by the corporation that it will develop
600 acres of this land between 1982 and 1988, but it was
not able to identify in what years this construction
might take place nor the type of industrial construction
that could be anticipated. In Councillor McLean's
opinion, "it is extremely important that industrial
development occur at the same time as residential
development to help offset the cost of services to the
residential taxpayer."
It has not indicated whether the province will be pro.
viding any financial incentives for industry to locate in
Seaton. By the same token the corporation has not
indicated as to whether, other than the usual lot levies,
additional grants will be available from the province to
offset the substantial additional services this project
will require. These services will require a major expan-
sion to the water services, substantial improvements to
existing regional roads in the area and the volume of
traffic which will be generated by the project, "will
likelv initiate a requirement for additional regional
Councillor McLean also pointed out that sewage
treatment capacity will be available in the York-Dur
ham Sewage Treatment Plant, and the corporation will
have to provide the trunk sewers to reach the big pipe.
No indication was provided as to whether the province
will be assisting with the soft services which will even-
tually be required in the area. While it is unlikely that a
significent welfare assistance payments or family coun-
selling services will be initially required, it is most
likely that these types of soft services will be required
in the long run. Councillor McLean said he could
"imagine that regional daycare centres will be required
by residents before long."
Councillor McLean reported that the Region can
approve an Official Plan amendment which accom-
modates sufficient opportunity for industrial as well as
residential growth. The Town of Pickering will have the
responsibility for rezoning land. Both the Region and
the Town of Pickering will have responsibilities in
recommending approval of plans of subdivision to the
Minister of Housing. A condition or approval will
likely be that the Ontario Land Corporation meet the
financial and other requirements of the Region and the
Town of Pickering. The Ontario Land Corporation has
indicated that the province will not use undue influence
in securing approval of the development, and the cor-
poration will follow approval procedures laid down for
more conventional developers.
He stated that during Regional Council member's
question period Mr. McDonald admitted that "no
financial impact study had been done to determine
what the impact would be on the Region or on the
municipalities in the Region. Mr. McDonald indicated
that a study could be done and would be funded by the
corporation if the municipalities wished such a study to
be done. The study would review the impact on the
growth of the Region and the impact on existing tax-
payers."
Mr. McDonald refused to reply to the question as to
whether the Ontario Land Corporation would "push it"
through the province if Regional Council refused to
approve the Official Plan amendment application.
Councillor McLean reported that replying to the
request to comment on the general effect Seaton wil;
have on the Region, Mr. McDonald gave his indi-
cations. He indicated that by putting Seaton in the
Region it will put the Region in a better competitive
position than if the same amount of development was
permitted to occur scattered throughout the Region. He
also indicated dh_ ?row significantly
unless Seaton is. there to bring industry and population
to the Region."
Councillor McLean pointed out that the steps which
are to be followed for this Official Plan amendment
application. They are; the public is invited to submit
comments on the proposed development in, at least, 30
days to the Region and to the municipality in which they
live. The Board of Education, Town of Pickering, et
cetra, are being asked for their comments and to hold
local public meetings, as may be required. This will
take approximately 60 days, then the Region's Planning
staff will require four weeks to review the material and
prepare a report for the Region's Planning Committee.
He said providing no problems develop during this pro-
cess, Seaton could be before the Region's Planning
Committee in the middle of March of next year. "It
would likely be April 1980 at the earliest before the
matter would come before Regional Council for a

Former MP advises Liberals to pick another
By Ian Sutton Toronto Star
WHITBY — Former Liberal NIP Norm
Cafik said yesterday it is "extremely un-
likely" that he will contest his party's
nomination in Ontario Riding next week.
Cafik, who represented the riding for 11
years until his defeat in last May's federal
election, said in a telephone interview
from his Vancouver home he has advised
Liberal officials to look for another candi-
date. At least three candidates are now
committed to seeking the Liberal nomina-
tion at a meeting in Pickering Village
next Monday.
The former minister of state for multi-
culturalism moved his family to Vancou-
ver in September after obtaining a senior
position with a B.C. manufacturing firm.
"I miss Ontario Riding and the people
there," Cafik said. "But I'm extremely
happy doing what I'm doing."
He added he is confident the Liberals
can win back the riding in the Feb. 18
election.
"I'm convinced whoever gets the nomi-
nation will take the riding. I'm sure if I
ran I'd win and I'd go right back into the
cabinet."
Bruce Findlay, a Toronto public rela-
tions executive who lives in Claremont,
announced Monday he will contest the
Liberal nomination. Findlay, a native of
Toronto, was raised in Oshawa.
Pickering Regional Councillor Doug
Dickerson has also announced that he will
seek the nomination at Monday's 8 p.m.
meeting at Pickering High School. He said
he reconsidered his earlier decision not to
_run after being urged to enter the race by
a number of party supporters.
Ron Sproule of Pickering, a former spe-
cial assistant to Cafik, confirmed ,yester-
day he hopes to win the Liberal nomina-
tion. Sproule has served in several posi-
tions on both the riding and national
Liberal party executive.
Ajax school Trustee Bill McCracken,
however, has withdrawn from the contest
for the Liberal nomination. He attributed
his change of mind chiefly to his involve-
ment with a local citizen group in the cur-
rent controversy over a liquid waste
treatment plant in Ajax.
Meanwhile, Ajax Mayor Clark Mason
said yesterday he will not attempt to win
the Progressive Conservative nomination
tomorrow night from MP Scott Fennell.
Mason said he wad aware of reports that
he might run, but the sudden defeat of the
government gave him too little time to
consider the matter.
"It just hit everybody too damn fast."
The PC nomination meeting will be held
at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Harwood Second-
ary School. The NDP candidate in Ontario
Riding is high school teacher Geoff Rison.

Study death of fish
CLAREMONT — A
professional biologist has
claimed that water samples
taken from a branch of Duffin
Creek, a short time after an
ammonia spill occurred up-
stream, was sufficiently toxic to
kill the fish within three hours.
Keith Holtz, a witness for
the Ministry of the En-
vironment, testified at a
provincial court hearing in
Ajax.
His testimony was related to
a charge against the Claremont
branch of the United Co-
operative of Ontario under the
Fisheries Act of Canada. It is
alleged that because of water
contamination, 500 brook trout
died in the stream last May.
Maximum penalty under
the act is a $50,000 fine.
The plant, located in the
north end of Claremont near the
C.P.R. line, produces ammonia
that's used in fertilizing corn
crops. When the ammonia is
mixed with water, it creates a
chemical called ammonia
hydroxide. The acid content is
quite high. After production, the
water is dumped into a moat
then pumped into a swamp,
some distance from the creek.
According to evidence, the
accident occurred when a
control valve broke, forcing the
ammonia to be pumped into the
moat which then emptied into
the stream.
Chemist Joan Crowther did
the analysis on water samples
taken after the spill. However,
she wasn't available to validate
the test results, so the trial was
adjourned to Feb. 14.

Ontario that the ammonia used by the company in fertilizing corn
crops was toxic enough to kill the fish.
